The 2014 United States Grand Prix will s𓆉ee the smallest grid for an F1 race in almost a decade following the confirmation that both Marussia and Caterham have been placed into administration.

Caterham 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: went into administration on October 24th in the wake of a public spat over ownership between former helmsman Tony Fernandes and buyers Engavest, while Marussia confirmed today it is also 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: in the hand꧂s of the administrators after owner Andrey Ch🧜eglakov was unable to sup🅺ply investment.

With both teams - which debuted in 2010 under their previous Lotus and Virgin Racing guises - not making the trip to Austin this weekend for the US Grand Prix at the Circu𒆙it of the Americas, a grid of just nine teams a꧋nd 18 cars is set to be present.

A🦂s such, this weekend's event is destined𝓀 to see the lowest number of cars to line up for an F1 race since the 2005 Monaco Grand Prix, when BAR Honda was serving the second of its two-race ban from the FIA for weight irregularities.

Looking ahead into 2015, though the FIA has floated the idea of three-car teams as the financial situations of Caterham and Marussia became increasingly perilous, McLaren-Mercedes racing director Eric Boullier has already suggested it is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: too late for teams to consider a third🐽 machine with less than six months be💙fore the start of next year's season.
